Alocasia zebrina was given the name for the pattern resembling zebra stripes on the petioles. Leaf blades are light green with a pale green underside, the lower midrib possesses the same zebra like characteristic that extends from the petiole.

~Do Not let Alocasia sit in excess water. Alocasia are prone to rot if left with “wet feet”. Once watered, make sure to drain any extra water.

~Do Not place in full sun. Though some larger varieties can be acclimated to full sun, our Alocasia have been grown under shaded, greenhouse conditions.
